Last week, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee dropped two rap songs of his own. This week, rappers Post Malone and Yaweh released a joint single titled "Tommy Lee," on which the legendary drummer has been featured.

Lee laid down his drum parts for the single while at home in quarantine after Post Malone sent him the track with what he called "demo drums," when talking to SiriusXM's Debatable. "It's killer," he said. "It's basically [an ode to] living that rock star life that people in hip-hop always seem to talk about."

In recent years, the 24-year old Post Malone has curried favor with the rock and metal community. He was in a metalcore band as a teen, performed 15 Nirvana songs in a livestream benefit show, has his knuckles tattooed with portraits of rock legends, played onstage with Aerosmith at the VMAs and with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Grammys, invited Ozzy Osbourne to sing on one of his songs and later sung on one of Ozzy's new songs... the list goes on.

This isn't lost on Lee, who worked with Post Malone in 2018 on the Beerbongs & Bentleys hit "Over Now." "I've known him for a while and that dude is a rock star, let me tell you," commented Lee. "He's a freaking maniac."

As to why the Posty and Yaweh elected to name the song after the Motley Crue icon, Yaweh told NME, "Tommy Lee just doesn’t give a fuck and I love that."
